I had an online interview for position (1042453) with a third-party company for Vale on 11/25/2021. During the interview, several questions related to the role were asked, and I answered all of them. At the end, the recruiter mentioned that the next stage would be a medical evaluation and, if everything went well, another interview with the area manager. The recruiter informed me about the next steps and said I would be contacted within 5 days to schedule the medical exam. After 15 days passed, I contacted the recruiter. She replied that the position was still open, that she would get a direct response from Vale, and would get back to me. I haven't received a response yet.
